It’s called Fuddruckers and it’s fucking gross.

There is a reason Brawndo is in the picture.

Maybe you didn't get the hint.

What happened to them? Fuddruckers was fucking awesome when I was a kid. Took my family to one while on vacation a few years ago and it really was terrible. The burger was flavorless and the toppings were all super low quality. Made me sad. I thought I was about to show my family something from my childhood. All disappointment.

Probably 20 years of cost optimization.

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah, the last time I had been to one was as a teenager sometime in the early 90s.

[-] adarza@piefed.ca 3 points 2 months ago

and being such the burger connoisseur as a child, where your initial comparison is going to be to a happy meal. ofc it's gonna be 'fucking awesome' compared to that.

I'm pretty old and used to go there sometimes 20 to 35 years ago.

The burgers were always flavorless. Your kid memory is wearing rose colored glasses.

It was never awesome.

It's probably been at least a decade since I went to one. Sad to hear they enshittified, but can't say I'm surprised given that everyone else has too.

yea, i remember it being a 'good' place, too. i think its downward spiral started when the founder left the company in the late 80s, and picked-up steam when the company sold itself a decade later. today's company is not the same as even then, either. it's been through more ownership changes, a bankruptcy, and its then-owner luby's was nearly a covid casualty--all but set to shut down completely before finding buyers for the scraps that still remained.

Fuddruckers is from San Antonio, and now we ain't got none. It's so weird to drive by the original location, which sat abandoned for years, and now see an empty lot.

The burgers were horrifyingly greasy, but those fries were amazing, the buns were incredible, and the nachos were the only decent entree if you wanted to avoid diarrhea.

Also, I just had a flashback to the '90s when my mom would always order the taco salad, and then wonder why she never lost weight.

Fuddruckers is fucking great.

Sure it was fuddruckers in the movie and it evolved into buttfuckers. With facilities for birthday parties.
